Hello,I am 22 years old, 135 pounds 5'5. I look heavy at my current weight. I can not lose weight for the life of me. I feel like I know everything there is to losing weight well, not know but have read...but for some reason my stubborn body does not want to lose weight. Last time I was 110, I was on medication that had weight loss as a side effect. When I stopped taking the medicine, I ballooned up to 135. I literally hate what I see in the mirror. 22 % body fat is too much for me to handle. I don't care if I'm a size 4. I feel completely hideous. I greatly restrict my diet too. I probably eat twice a day. If I do, i will usually eat a bagel with cheese and tomatoes for breakfast (at about 11am) and then not eat again until about 7 pm. I usually have 30 % veggies on my plate 50 % meat/protein and 20 % carbs at dinner. I only drink water and maybe 1 vitamin water a day. I do not eat out nor do i like any form of fast food. I do not like or eat candy, brownies, donuts you name it i will more than likely NOT eat it because 1) i know they're full of fat and 2) ill feel insanely guilty for eating them if i did. I do not do cardio, but I do strength training and circuit training 4 xs a week at about 30 min a day. I do not eat potato chips, I do not like soda, I do not like honestly anything with preservatives in it. My only weakness is coffee. I drink coffee in the morning with milk and sugar. Besides that, my diet is pretty low in calories. I find myself sleeping a lot and feeling tired a lot but i just can not convince myself to eat more. It seems like, as soon as I eat, I feel fat no matter what I've eaten unless its a veggie. anything besides vegetables makes me feel fat. Can someone tell me...what am i doing wrong? how come I cannot lose weight? considering how much i restrict myself you'd think i was a lot skinnier. nope, i look like i eat whatever i want. I feel like i need to see a nutritionist. honestly, what else do i have to restrict myself from? i hate my body!! i don't want a 27 inch waist anymore. i cry inside almost everytime i get dressed, no joke. Can someone tell me, what am i doing wrong?View Thread
